The food industry has a massive land, water and carbon footprint, it is the main contributor to global climate change, yet these changes will affect the ability to cintinue producing food in the traditional farming method. A new industry must be created.

This project proposes an integrated building for production, packaging and sales to supply helathy food to an under-served urban population. Hydrophonics and stem cell meat cultivation will cut down resource use, as well as provide an innovative climate change resistant food production method without changing the UK’s diet.

By integrating traditional barn and greenhouse typologies with local industrial materiality, this project embodies a modern precedent for sustainable argiculture nationwide. Learning will be enocuraged in the Agriculture Technology co-working spaces, the public laboratories and the guided tours through the factory itself. The proposal will improve the physical wellbeing of the local area through teaching, innovation, and industry.
